Maintaining friendships has never been a strong suit of mine. I've met many folks I hit it off with, but the connection wanes if we don't exchange numbers and actually follow up again.

Yesterday, a friend from high school texted me. His simple, "how are things" text message resulted in a 15 minute exchange of life updates. 

In the past, I've considered creating calendar reminders for myself to reach out to a random friend each day. I've hesitated on this because it feels forced. But I wonder what deeper level of friendship I'm missing out on by not doing so.
